Social Mobilization - 1,267 words
Social Mobilization Meet Sandra, a mother recently
divorced from her abusive middle-class husband.
Her previous life had been comfortable; she now
lives day-to-day with her children, working as a
secretary while attending college courses in her
little spare time, all while attending to her home
and family. She finally ends up attaining her
degree, yet can still find no job paying higher
than her secretarial job, so she takes on a second
job as a grocery checkout person, still barely
making ends meet for her family. As described in
Ch. 9 of the Giddens text, this woman had
obviously worked very hard to attempt to restore
her life back to her previous pre-divorce
middle-class state. She says, ...

American Revolution - 3,384 words
American Revolution In the aftermath of the French
and Indian War, Britain needed a new imperial
design, but the situation in America was anything
but favorable to change. Long accustomed to a
large measure of independence, the colonies were
demanding more, not less, freedom, particularly
now that the French menace had been eliminated. To
put a new system into effect, and to tighten
control, Parliament had to contend with colonists
trained in self-government and impatient with
interference. One of the first things that British
attempted was the organization of the interior.
The conquest of Canada and of the Ohio Valley
necessitated policies that would not alienate the
French and Indian inhab ...

THE DAUGHTERS OF LIBERTY The active participation
of women in the Revolutionary War had an effect on
the outcome. Mass political mobilization was a
trademark of the protest leading to the
independence of the colonies. Womens role in this
mobilization was in the church, market, and
family. Women also formed volunteer societies to
provide for the soldiers material needs. Women
also displayed acts of heroism on the battlefield.
Despite these facts that are presented in our
textbook of the important role women played in
Revolutionary War effort, the image of the womans
role in the American Revolution has been distorted

Blitzkrieg - 1,453 words
Blitzkrieg The First Phase: Dominance of the Axis
Man for man, the German and Polish forces were an
even match. Hitler committed about 1.5 million
troops, and the Polish commander, Marshal Edward
Smigy-Rydz, expected to muster 1.8
million. That was not the whole picture, however.
The Germans had six panzer (armored) and four
motorized divisions; the Poles had one armored and
one motorized brigade and a few tank battalions.
The Germans' 1600 aircraft were mostly of the
latest types. Half of the Poles' 935 planes were
obsolete. Result of German Blitzkrieg on Poland On
September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland. The
Polish army expected the attack to come along the
Polish frontiers. But ...

the credit of the Prussians, Germany had the
largest (except for Russia), best equipped and

use of the heavy machine gun (the Maxim gun) in

they had the power to question their Austrian
rulers who ignored Serbian demands to liberate
their people. Austria, ethnically dissimilar from
the Serbians they governed, looked to a history of
German association to counter the Serbian threat
of Russian involvement. Germany, without need of
an ally, saw the Austrian proposal as a means to
create a stronger Germany, one that could compete
with Europe's historical powers, France and

school desegregation issue to many Americans.
Although not all school desegregation was as
dramatic as in Little Rock, the desegregation
process did proceed-gradually. Frequently schools
were desegregated only in theory, because racially
segregated neighborhoods led to segregated
schools. To overcome this problem, som ...

standardized and compatible weapon systems. The
importance of this derives from the costs of
learning to use new weapon systems and the
increased probability of breakdown as a result of
increased technological complexity. Thus, instead
of complex and revolutionary weapon development
Soviet weapon systems often developed in an
evolutionary manner. For example, there is a long
line of Soviet tanks from the T-34 to the T-72
which all have great similarities and
interchangeable parts. Similarly, airplanes (MiGs)
and guns (such as the AKs) are designed using past
systems as close models. The crucial mechanism in
this process of matching weapons to practi ...

metabolic reactions; they release and transfer
energy. Enzymes are influenced by many factors: 1)

was a moment full of horror, in which the eyes of
the whole world were opened to the unimaginable

on what happened to those cities and what is still
happening to many of the survivors there, leads to
explore what happened to America as a consequence
of Hiroshima; both the bomb's existence in the
